Gabor Lorant (1930 – April 24, 2005) was a Hungarian architect who specialized in designing earthquake-resistant structures.[1][2] Lorant was a freedom fighter in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956,[3][4] and fled to the United States at the invitation of Frank Lloyd Wright.[5] Once in the United States, he founded and directed Gabor Lorant Architects, Inc., an architectural firm that has designed buildings in 42 states and 3 countries.[4][5]
In 1997, Lorant represented the American Institute of Architects at the international conference "Assuring the Performance of Buildings and Infrastructures," an international conference convened in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[2] Additionally, he was the author of "Seismic Design Principles," a technical manual on constructing earthquake-resistant buildings.[1] In recognition of his contributions to the field, Lorant was granted Fulbright Scholarships in 1999 through 2005, and was awarded fellowship in the American Institute of Architects.[4][6]
Lorant served as the co-chair of the Phoenix Mountain Preservation Committee, and the Chairman of the Phoenix Environmental Commission.[4] He also designed and built his own home near the Phoenix Mountain Preserve in mid-century modern style.[7] Lorant died in Hungary in 2005 but Gabor Lorant Architects, Inc. remains active, now under the leadership of his son, Jan Lorant.[5]
